Default Recording myself talk and have background music playing PPT 2007

Hello all,

I need to record myself over a PPT but would like background music playing
at a lower volume than me speaking.

How can I do this with PPT 2007?

Sincerely,
Geo

Record the narration using Slide Show | Record Narration. (I wouldn't use
Rehearse Timings in conjunction with Record Narration.)

Then add the music background to the presentation separately using Insert |
Sound | Sound from File. I believe it will need to be an MP3, not a WAV,
because your narrations will be WAVs. On the Sound Tools Options tab that
appears when you select the sound icon on the slide, choose Play Sound |
Play Across Slides.

You'll have to enter two sounds into the show. Enter the sound file and
afterwards record your text. The two icons have to be separately modified
under Options menu. Choose either "Automatically" or "When clicked" from Play
Sound menu. As for the voice, under Slide Show Volume you can edit the volume
for both sounds.
